Henry Threadgill. And loving it.

Well some good came from the Mosaic panic: I wanted to help out and buy a couple of sets so when several of you highly recommended Henry Threadgill so I took your suggestion and am I ever happy I did. This is a great music. (Though I have to admit I'm not nuts about the session that was released here for the first time-- but otherwise I live it. )

Didn't know of the existence of this till recently when a friend turned me on to it. Now it's a favorite.

Well I think they were rumored to be even more extensive. Almost glad they weren't.

Again IIRC you've quit this group several times because you took offense about less nasty things said about you. And the point is not what you said about fellow musicians but what you implied about fellow board members.

IIRC (and I often don't) someone on this forum recently attended a Giddens concert and liked it. So why do you gratuitously feel the need to insult them? No one was even talking about her. As someone recently wrote : there's a reason why there's less and less discussion on this forum. Vituperative comments like yours just drive people away.

I was about to post this story too. But is everything really free to download and how do we search it? I wonder if there are any jazz tracks never released on Lp or cd.

IIRC I saw Bill Barron at The Montmartre in Copenhagen a couple of times in the summer of 1964. Yes, he was good but at the time he didn't seem to me to be that distinctive though I was probably too enthralled by Coltrane at the time to be very perceptive.

Happy B'day!

Happy B'day Shawn!

Very well written article. BTW If they own the masters to the Bird set they could offer them for download once they've run out of cds. Or they could license them to someone still in the cd business-- if any such company exists in the future.

To honour Jeanne Moreau I presume.

Happy B'day EKE BBB

Ricky Riccardi makes a pretty good case for this really being Pops' birthday. http://dippermouth.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-birthday-pops-case-for-july-4-1901.html?m=0

I was disappointed the one time I tried 5 Guys. I guess I should give them another chance. Will someday try a Shake Shack but meanwhile I'm an In and Out guy. (Though I also like homeboy The Habit. )

Gotta admit I like the hot dogs at Costco (as well as their so-called Polish Sausage-- which tastes to me like their hot dog in a different shape.) Also like that they offer raw onions as condiment.

Washington has a pretty busy schedule. http://www.kamasiwashington.com/ Also he had an installation at the Whitney Biennial. My son thought it was the best thing there. Had no idea that he was a well known musician and was surprised that I'd heard of him. (The installation did have music as part of it. Not sure if it has anything to do with his new record. )

Funny I just got mine last week and it's number is 6633. Maybe they held it back till they got the other box I'd ordered. It does look like they can only sell a few hundred more. Surely it's the last available set where the booklet gives both the Lp and cd track lists.

Went to https://www.arroyosecoweekend.com/ over the weekend. Saw Mumford, Tom Petty, The Revivalists and The Meters (originals plus Cyril Neville and a second keyboard player) amongst others but the first musicians I heard were Bennie Maupin and his septet! A small but appreciative crowd dancing to Filthy McNasty and several originals. Also noticed that at one of the three stages, the between set music seemed to be a Gerry Mulligan mix tape. So you could go from John Mayall to Bernie's Tune to Broken Social Scene.

Saw her with Wallace Roney at a club here in Santa Barbara. Thought they were both great and didn't realize they were married. At my age she seems to young to have died.

OP was featured on Jack the Bear during his tenure with Ellington. It took me a while to digest that he joined Ellington after he had led a band with Dizzy.

OK I'm interested.

I suspect that outside of this forum Hank is not a known quantity. Even for jazz fans he's probably best known for having his solos edited out of the first release of "At the Blackhawk". It's only the enthusiasm of people here which led me to finally order the Mosaic box.

Just came back from hearingThe Trio with Roscoe, George Lewis and Muhal Richard Abrams. (One of 3 concerts I attended today at the Ojai Music Festival.) Whatever Roscoe's troubles they aren't interfering with his playing: the concert was beautiful.

IIRC (and I may not) what I saw was an hour show of just Nance. I think it was from a local Chicago program. (And I may be wrong about all of that.) It was in colour.
